True love.

We talked about how our relationship grew out of friendship. Admittedly, there was kissy face before we became an official couple (on facebook and everything), so it’s kind of fuzzy when our actual anniversary is. That prompted this conversation:

Michaelyn: It’s ok, we can celebrate the anniversary of the proposal. Me: What day is that? Michaelyn: November…Skepticon day.

We dug through Michaelyn’s facebook to find that the day I proposed to her was actually November 9th, which we’ll likely forget by the time it rolls around (save us, facebook!)

Anyway, this is clearly true love. Here are some things that matter far more than what date we became an official couple:

This is what was awaiting me after I returned from Toledo (on my birthday, which I don’t celebrate). Michaelyn had mended a hole in my favorite pair of pajama pants and made me cupcakes that resemble the mushroom bombs of Teemo, my original main champion in League of Legends.

Here’s how we roll with our freezer in our apartment. :) That’s enough freezer pops to get us through a zombie apocalypse, I’d wager.

Google reader donations

Blogging is a significant portion of my income. I get paid per hit, but google reader hits don't count. Many who use google reader have said they'd like to just donate rather than click through to the posts. If you're one of those people, here's where you can do it.
